Yeah- this is a shot at MLB to get the money right
Just in case he doesn't like his MLB offer.
So then why wouldn’t he enroll at JUCO so he could go next year if he had a good season?
Isn’t he ties to State until he’s 21?
To play in front of some of the biggest crowds in college baseball? To get some higher level coaching, training, development? To have the chance to win a natty? To bang good looking chicks?Quote:

If he's going to MLB, it won't be for huge money. His stock is down a bit from where it was a couple years ago.
Yeah I've heard same.Quote:

Right that's looking like the plan. Be good for him and us.Quote:

I don't recall the last kid to enroll and then leave, after the draft.Quote:

Of course the draft used to be one-month earlier. Used to be in the middle of Omaha.
Did Brady Loftin and Ross Highfill enroll? Would be great to have these three Mississippi guys enrolled and on campus.
Yeah loftin and Highfill both enrolled.Quote:

Draft is July 17-19th and the deadline to sign is August 1st.
By August 2 we should pretty much know what our team looks like from all standpoints. Recruits, seniors potentially returning, guys from the portal- although I guess Skenes could technically announce after August 1 and that's probably more of an issue of when classes start at MSU. My guess is he'll announce sometime around July 20-31 though.
what are the chances that Clijinte remains enrolled?
